Chapter 24 You Have a Bad Reputation
Lloyd glanced at the little girl next to Erica.
His fingers, which were resting on the edge of the wheelchair, suddenly tightened. He couldn't control himself and stood up from the wheelchair. His slender eyes stared at her tightly, and his voice trembled as if something was caught in his throat. After a long time, he asked with a trembling voice, "T... Taryn?"
He, who usually remained calm and unemotional, couldn't even finish his sentence.
Taryn walked up to him and smiled sweetly, "Lloyd, it's me, I'm Taryn."
Irvin and Murray stared at Taryn in disbelief.
The air froze for a moment. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
After a long time, Irvin was the first to recover. He checked Taryn, and was speechless with excitement, "Is it really you, Taryn? You're not lying to us, are you?"
Looking at his shocked expression, Taryn chuckled, "Irvin, it's really me, I'm not lying! My illness is cured, and I've become beautiful. Are you happy for me?"
Irvin was speechless for a while.
Happy!
Of course, he was happy for her. Over the years, they had put in so much effort for her illness.
Lloyd even blamed himself every day.
But now, Taryn's illness had inexplicably disappeared.
How could he not be happy?
How could he not be excited?
He was too excited to even speak.
Lloyd knelt down and hugged Taryn in his arms, gently stroking her head. However, he couldn't say a word, his lips slightly parted.
After a long while, Lloyd sat back in his wheelchair and raised his slender eyes to look at Erica, "What happened?"
Erica knew that she couldn't keep it from Lloyd any longer, so she said, "Ms. Geller cured Taryn's illness."
"Ms. Geller?" Irvin wondered, "Alisa Geller?"
Erica Haney didn't know Gianna's real name, so she had to explain, "When Ms. Geller saved Taryn at the entrance of the shopping mall, she came to see her once and said she could cure Taryn's illness. But we had to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, not even Taryn's family."
Erica lowered her head and whispered, "Taryn trusts Ms. Geller and asked me to help keep it a secret. I... also wanted Taryn to get better, so I helped Ms. Geller hide it from you. Every morning, after you left the hospital, Taryn would send a message to Ms. Geller, and she would come to treat her."
After speaking, Erica hurriedly added, "Lloyd, this is my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I just ask that you don't drive me away. I have taken care of Taryn as if she were my own child for these years, and I..."
Erica cried as she spoke, very afraid that Lloyd would be angry and kick her out.
Others may not know Lloyd, but she did.
In the Finley family, Lloyd was someone who kept his word.
Outsiders thought he was a cripple and a waste.
But he was not.
No one knew that the position of the Finley family as the most wealthy family in Reland was actually the effort of Lloyd.
No one knew about this except Damian and her.
Lloyd's dark eyes stared closely at her face, and after a moment, he opened his mouth slowly, "Erica, you are the person I personally selected. You should know what to do and what not to do!"
This time, they were lucky that the other party was trying to cure Taryn's illness.
If it had been someone with evil intentions, he couldn't imagine it.
Erica trembled and apologized hastily, "I...I was wrong."
Seeing this, Taryn grabbed Lloyd's hand and spoke in a soft voice, "Lloyd, don't blame Erica. It was me who begged her in tears. I was ridiculed and despised for being ugly and felt very sad. Erica didn't want me to be unhappy, so she promised to keep this secret."
Taryn pursed her lips and continued seriously, "And Ms. Geller is not a bad person. She is very kind, very gentle, and she won't harm me. Lloyd, can you forgive Erica?"
Looking at Taryn's delicate and beautiful face, Lloyd sighed and said, "Alright, I won't pursue this matter any further. But it won't happen again."
Erica breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There won't be a next time."
Lloyd shifted his gaze and whispered to Murray Huff, "Call Joey over to give Taryn a check-up!"
It concerned Taryn, and even if she recovered her appearance, he still needed to ensure that there were no further issues.
Soon, Joey arrived.
After conducting a full-body examination on Taryn, he became more and more shocked.
Until the entire examination was completed, Joey exclaimed, "The poison has been completely eliminated, and the organs weakened by the poison have been restored. Mr. Finley, when did you find this doctor? How come I don't know?"
Without waiting for Lloyd to respond, Joey's eyes lit up as he said, "Quickly introduce me. This is too amazing. In just a few days, someone was able to completely eliminate such a powerful poison."
Upon hearing that the poison had been completely eliminated, Irvin's mouth hung open, unable to close it for a long time.
When Joey was doing the examination, Irvin was still wondering whether the poison had been completely eliminated, even though Taryn's appearance had been restored. After all, if it was easy to detoxify, Joey wouldn't have been unable to find a solution for years.
Therefore, he was surprised to hear that Taryn's poison had indeed been eliminated.
A great shocking to him!
"Ms. Geller's medical skills are amazing, isn't she?" Irvin exclaimed, "Although I don't want to admit it, it seems that she is even more skilled than my Miss."
Lloyd leaned on the wheelchair, his slender fingers resting on the edge of the wheelchair, tapping it slowly. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained silent.
After thinking for a moment, Irvin said, "But what does she mean? She can cure Taryn, but why does she do it secretly? Everyone outside knows that Taryn is your grandfather's most beloved granddaughter. If she cures her, she will definitely get a valuable reward, but she says nothing."
Suddenly, Irvin thought of something and said, "Could it be because she doesn't want to be engaged to you, so she did it like this?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his guess was correct. "That's right, it must be like this. She doesn't want to marry you. If you see how excellent she is, you may not want to let her go. But as a disciple of Aidan Kershaw, she cannot bear to see patients suffer, so she treated Taryn secretly."
"Tsk!" Irvin clicked his tongue. "Mr. Finley, you have a bad reputation. Look at how scared this young lady is. She would rather not have a generous reward than marry you."
Lloyd raised his gaze lightly, and gave him a cold look.
Irvin immediately zipped up his mouth.
It's over!
He is angry!
Lloyd's gaze retracted, and he immediately ordered, "Prepare the gifts and let's go to the Geller's villa."
Taryn walked up to him and asked eagerly, "Lloyd, are you going to thank Ms. Geller? Can I come with you? I want to thank her in person. I didn't have the chance to thank her earlier."
Lloyd remained silent for a moment before saying, "You rest first. I will take you to see Ms. Geller in a few days."
Taryn was disappointed, but still obediently nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
